This is my newest obsession. Banana smoothies. Frozen bananas, blended, taste basically like ice cream. But they're bananas. Which means I feel like I'm eating ice cream for breakfast. Which makes me happy. This has made me go a little crazy on the banana-buying lately, hoping they'll start looking like this before we eat them … [Read more...]
Creating Space In My Home by Decluttering
I'm on a Space Creation Kick lately. I might (or might not) have a few dumping areas. Fine. I do. One is (once again) the master bedroom, and one is "hidden" behind a screen in the gameroom. These spaces get on my nerves, but at least a part of the master bedroom one is Girl Scout stuff. Honestly, the "stuff" was one of … [Read more...]
How to Reduce Paper Clutter
Oh, how I don't want to write this post. I'm only writing it because it has been specifically requested many many times. Paper is a slob's natural enemy. And I most definitely don't have paper "under control." This makes me feel unqualified to speak on the subject. But . . . I've come a long way. A VERY long way. So I decided to share how … [Read more...]

Monday was an Ice Day for us. On Sunday afternoon, as ice began to pour down from the sky, I had a thought. The thought? "If tomorrow is an Ice Day, I shall bake bread." I'm not sure what ice and bread have to do with one another, but it's what happened. I have had visions of being the mom who bakes fresh, homemade bread on a semi-daily … [Read more...]
Pretty Sure This Is NOT What They Mean . . .
I've heard people say you shouldn't stress so much about people coming into your home. You shouldn't feel the need to change things. You should let people see how you really live. But I'm pretty sure this is NOT what they mean: This isn't actually how we "live" if you define "live" as the prolonged state and purposeful … [Read more...]
How to Read Your Kindle in the Bathtub
You can always count on me for amazingly useful information, right? Anyway . . . I thought I'd share a lovely little trick I've been using. I didn't come up with it, though. A woman at our pool does this in the summer, but I never thought much about it until I was wishing I could read my new Kindle in the bathtub. I stuck it in a gallon-sized … [Read more...]
No Guilt From Me!
The VERY first time I spoke as an extension of this blog, a woman approached me after I was done. She wanted to talk about something to do with cleaning, something relevant to my talk. In her hand was my business card. My business card which I had carefully placed in each seat before each session. My business card which I had designed all by … [Read more...]
